This beetle is known for its ability to survive in way past cold temperatures, reaching up to -100 degrees Fahrenheit and still living. I think this means the bug should have some ice themed abilities
Abilities:
No ball: Cold Blooded
When this beetle is very close to other players it can shoot out a blast from their body freezing, them for a short period. When frozen, you need to spam click your grab button to break free. This can work as good area denial and defence. Being headbutted by a non frozen bug can break frozen bugs out of the ice.
Ball: Frozen Exoskeleton (edited to perfection, thank NPox)
This ability activates and means for the next half a second, if you are tackled, the ball freezes whatever beetle tackled you, however you still lose possession of the ball.
Passive: Winter Wings
When gliding at a fast enough pace, there is a cold gust of air surrounding you. When you crash into the floor, it creates an icy area that slows other bugs down, however does not slow the Upis Beetle due to the Xylomannan in its body keeping it cold resistant.
If there is any changes you would want to make, go ahead and respond to this because I think this bug could be a good addition to Beetle Ball
